With this mug, I scare less people, and look better wearing a mask!

I'll vouch for wooly too! Haven't heard from him in awhile. Hope he's ok?

Among other things. I'm really missing baseball.

One on the left would make a better presidential candidate.

Our annual May trip to Maine is not happening.

If not for my Doc's.......I'd be pushing up daisies. And would have been doing so years ago, in my 50s. Sometimes ya gotta trust, and go with the flow.

A beautiful tried and true package here! Good to go for deer, turkey, small game, and wing shooting. All at a very good price, for a piece that will last any hunter a lifetime. I'd jump on this, if I weren't already overstocked with shotguns. GLWS !

Yes sir, you would be right. My point is, being this is NYS, I can easily see where it will eventually cost $100 to take the course. Money that will be split between the conservation fund, and the general fund. But perhaps I'm getting ahead of things here? Most importantly, the new hunters wanting to turkey hunt this season, will have the opportunity. After that, we'll have to see where this goes?

It didn't cost anything to attend a hunter safety course. Now the state is charging $20 to take it. This is NYS! So you can see where the future of this is going.

Sweet package and a great deal!!! GLWS

There are always some of these in every class I've been a part of as an instructor. They are the ones that benefit the most from the hands on instruction. And will be the ones who will be left to figure it out on their own, while afield. That said, being there are no classes scheduled. I don't want to see anyone that wants to hunt, be left out because they couldn't get a certification. Going totally online has been talked about in DEC for some time now. As it is being done in some other states, quite successfully. Makes no difference to me personally. I just volunteered my time, as there was a need for more instructors. My only motivation was, to help new hunters. I will always be open to be a mentor to a new, or young hunter. Just as I was before becoming an instructor. The circle will not be broken by me. As no course, online or otherwise, will ever take the place of a good mentor. I'll leave this with the words I said to every student as they received their certification. Said with a smile and a high five..... Keep Safe! Shoot Straight!

I shed ten pounds. Not stopping for my morning egg sammy and coffee at Redy's Deli. And no lunch at work. Ordering out very little. Cut snacks down to almost nothing but trail mix. Still working, but only three days a week. So saving on gas and food. Not traveling to any of my grandson's ball games. Conserving ammo, instead of going to the range once a week like I was before this all started. Haven't taken a ride out to Utica to shed greenbacks in Bass Pro!

Any honest work, is something to be proud of yourself. And given respect by others. Each of us doing our own part, to benefit society.

Last 37 years in the printing industry. Prepress, bindery, pressman, design and layout. Last 16 years in charge of the graphic arts department, in a public school district. Started a school to work program, for special education students, in our district about 10 years ago. That has been my most rewarding accomplishment.

To me, and most native americans, the owl is a spirit bird. Great that you gave him\her a chance.

Happy Easter!

Prayers sent.

The forever wild folks would never let it happen.

OK..... Keep your heads down....I'm coming in Hot boy's!!!

C'mon up! I'll change your mind! My treat, whenever you get up to the capital district.

Sub's and wings from Lucia's in Rotterdam coming tomorrow night! Best wings in town!

I too look forward to seeing the pic's from this! Very cool! It may definitely be something I'd like to get for deer season.

Mendon????? Never heard of it...... They have adult bucks there??? False media report I think.
